VIP vs ABD: Match Preview:

Cricket is said to be a game of uncertainties and such uncertainties can go to Delhi in the International League 20 tournament where Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, adorned with excellent players, have faced defeat in their two matches played so far.

In the first game played against Dubai Capitals, Abu Dhabi batters flopped as only Paul Stirling (54 runs) scored runs with gritty intent. 9 of the Abu Dhabi batters weren't able to cross the double-digit mark. 

The second match against Gulf Giants was a replica of the first as only Andre Russell (26) and Paul Stirling (20 runs) got some runs but the other batters looked dilapidated.

Rough Abu Dhabi bowling is also a topic that the team management will not be neglecting. Sunil Narine and Ravi Rampaul are the two best bowlers of the team with 3-3 wickets each in 2 matches.

Desert Vipers on the other hand will be happy to get an easy 7-wicket win in the first match against Sharjah Warriors.  

In this match, England's star batter Alex Hales smacked a swashbuckling 83 not out in just 52 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes. Hales was equally supported by Sam Billings who missed his fifty but scored a decisive 49 runs.

The bowlers of the Vipers need to put in a little more effort. Tymal Mills and Benny Howell got a wicket each in the last match and are ready to rock the ground in their second match as well.
